Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this week as Torino lock horns with Stefano Pioli's AC Milan side in an important clash at the San Siro on Friday.
AC Milan vs Torino Preview
Torino are currently in seventh place in the Serie A standings and have punched above their weight so far this season. The away side edged Udinese to a crucial 1-0 victory last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
AC Milan, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have largely failed to meet expectations this season. The Rossoneri slumped to a damaging 1-0 defeat at the hands of arch-rivals Inter Milan in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
AC Milan vs Torino Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

AC Milan vs Torino Prediction
AC Milan have an impressive squad this season but have flattered to deceive in Serie A so far. The Rossoneri have endured a shocking slump over the past month and will need to play out of their skins to reclaim their place in the top four.
Torino can pack a punch on their day and have troubled AC Milan in the recent past. AC Milan have the better team on paper, however, and hold a slight upper hand going into this game.
Prediction: AC Milan 2-1 Torino
